Nap Is Back

My latest NRO podcast victim is Napoleon Chagnon, the acclaimed and controversial anthropologist. He’s controversial for all the wrong reasons, as my 2000 article on him tries to point out:

Chagnon, according to Tierney and his allies, consciously destroyed thousands of lives. The charges are astonishing, and they’ve been reported virtually everywhere, often without skepticism. There’s only one problem with them: They’re wholly and indisputably false. Chagnon is the target of one of the greatest smear campaigns ever waged against a scholar.

Chagnon is also a proud Michigan man, and so I give you this photo of him.
